Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians by Author  Kevin Kwan

Nathan and Rachel are college professors in New York City.  Nathan invites Rachel to  spend the summer with him visiting the places he was raised in.  He did not prepare her for the privileged lifestyle he had led.  It could have been spotlighted on a 1980's television program, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."  Rachel felt very uncomfortable in this environment. A quote from the book explains the atmosphere around her.  " All these people whose lives revolve around making money, spending money, flaunting money, comparing money, controlling others with money, and ruining their lives over money."  Can Rachel come to terms with this challenging dilemma?  Read the book and find out.

This is the first in a trilogy. A movie has been made from the book as well.
